About Tejumola

Tejumola is an MBA candidate at the Rotman School of Management with a background in private equity, deal advisory, and consulting. Before Rotman, she worked on the buy side, where she was particularly focused on helping with capital deployment to women-led funds. Her experience navigating the structural barriers women face in accessing capital sparked a deep interest in inclusive capital allocation. At Rotman, she continues to explore how financial systems can be leveraged to drive equitable growth. As a BMO GATE MBA Fellow, she is excited to contribute to research that examines how investment decisions by capital allocators are made and to create inclusive, evidence-based evaluation tools that would help promote a more equitable investment ecosystem.
